ODD DESIGNS ln BRASS.

Aan4soDS Ornaments for the Ror1eF,
Kitchen and Bedroom.
Few people realize the Important part
taken by brass-work in modern house
hold decoration. In bronse the French
and Belgian artisans excel But the
Workmen Of England and America can
produce as good effects in brass as may
be desired. Brass articles Fan be made
In large quantities from one model. In
bronze artistic finish must be given to
each piece individually. In England
good work is done in hammered brass.
In this process the article is made from
single sheet of metal. Most Of the
brass coal scuttles, which are so popu-
lar, come from England, and are pro-
duced in this way from single sheets.
The fine gauZe work of brass screens
and shades is done in France. Brass
work is becoming more and more popu-
lar. 1t is much used in the decoration
OF open fre-places and in ornamental
stoves it appears in thousand designs.
The fact that an open CRATE fire sends q
large proportion OF the heat up the
chimney, and hence is not strictly
economical, is lost sight of in the at
Effectiveness and coziness it affords.
Every piece Of brass-work has passed
through seven processes before it is
ready for sale. A cast of the design is
modelled in plaster Of Paris, and this is
cast in metal by the molder. The filler
then renders it perfectly smooth and
free from unevenness. It then goes to
the chaser. The article, whatever it
no scfc IS
parts, which are brazed together with
hard solder and forwarded to the filler
once more, and then to the polisher
and colorer. In this way the common
est article made of brass is perfected.
What is called 'shell-bark' is more
elaborate. This is spun upon a block
known as q 'chuck," and requires
very skillful handling. The copper is
first cut in sheets and placed over the
block on lathe, and as the lathe re-
wolves the workman with steel instru-
men, molds the metal into the required
shape, until it is perfectly fitted on the
"chuck." The highest rate of speed
is necessary in thus welding the brass
upon the model, and lathe and ''chuck"
revolve with great rapidity. In this
way knobs and balls of brass are made,
such, for example, as form the base of
chandeliers or the top of pedestals.
The ornamental open work, which is
familiar to all, upon the chains of chan
deliers, or that which has the appear
ance of half relief, is made by still
more difficult process known as half
securing" Good workmen in this
branch of the trade receive high wages.
In many of the finer New York houses
all forms of the most beautiful brass
work may be seen. Embossed sheet brass
work is used for finger plates to doors
and for the decoration of fiat surfaces
in almost every position. Brass plaques
ornament the walls, hammered brass
salvers are in common use, and in do
nestle utensils of every kind brass is
used for the exterior. Brass and ivory
have never lost their popularity. These
are made in every variety and of count
less designs.-N. Y. Mail and Express.

woman, and child here tonight;
Throw strong drink aside as you

conscience, it destroys everything it
touches; it reaches into the family
circle and takes the wife you have
sworn to protect and drags her down
from her pinnacle of purity into that
house from which no decent woman
goes alive. CApplause.] 1t induces
the father to take the furniture from
his house, exchange it for money at
the pawn-shop, and spend the proceeds
in rum. It damns everything it
touches. I have seen it in every city
east of the Mississippi, and I know that
the most damning curse to the iaborer
is that which gurgles from the neck of
the bottle. [Cheers.] I had rather
be at the head of an organization hav-
ing 100000 temperate, honest, earnest
men than at the head of an organiza-
ton of 100000 drinkers, whether
moderate or any other kind.

Cigarettes.

In warning against the sale of cigar
cites to boys, the statement is advanced
that if they begin in this way they early
learn to smoke cigars and pipes. This
may be fact in individual cases, but
the majority of boys who learn to
smoke cigarettes will never smoke any
thing else. 1t would be far better for
them If they began with the pipe; there
is less danger of disease from the use
of it OF: the cigar. The cigarette habit
is in itself disease, and once acquired
is more binding than the pipe habit
This may seem strange, but it is true.
And instead of decreasing, the practice
is rapidly increasing. The average
monthly production of the New York
city cigarette factories alone is over
100000. Boys, men and women
all smoke this form of the weed.

The Money Of tho World.

The total amount Of new coinage
added to the existing circulation in
1886 was: In gold, $8o,561 ,020; in
silver $126, 1929, $50. OF the silver
coinage $52,0OO,000 was the pro-
duct of Indian minis, $50, 100000 was
coined in this country, and $27, 000,-
600 in Mexico. The increase of coin
ed silver is estimated by the London
Economist as about II per cent. The
increase of Indian coinage is 80 per
cent. Recent discoveries of almost
fabulous sums hidden in Hindoo palaces
have added considerably to the worlds
store of silver. 1t is estimated that
there are five billions of coin in present
circulation or available for circulation,
of which $4,000, 100000 is gold and

Seeds That terminate Quickly.
The human system is fruitful soil, and
among seeds that germinate most rapidly
in it are those of rheumatism and neuralgia.
A slight cold, brought on by sitting in

proper preventive Of this agonizing vegeta-
tion is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a

effective as a remedy for rheumatism than
as its preventive, q fact as amply attested

properties. Mariners, miners, hontiersmen,
and others, have ever found it q faithful
preservative of health in unfavorable
regions, and q benign remedy for malaria!

Tho Hale Monument.

A fine statue Of, Captain Nathan
Hale, the American patriot, executed
las spy by the British in the Revolu-
tion, was formally delivered to the
State at Hartford, Conn.,, a short time
since.
The tale is well known. Hale
crossed over from Norwalk to Hunting
ton Cove on Long Island. In the dis
guise of schoolmaster he penetrated
the British lines and the city, made &C.
curate drawings of the Notifications
and memoranda, in Latin, of all
that he observed, which he concealed
between the soles of his shoes and re-
turned to the point on the shore where
he had first landed. He expected to
be met by boat and to cross the Sound
ito Norwalk the next morning. The
next morning ne was captured, no
doubt by Tory treachery, and taken to
Howe's headquarters, the mansion of
James Beekman, situated at, (the pres
ent) Fiftieth Street and First Avenue.
That was on the 21st of September.
Without trial and upon the evidence
found on his person, Howe condemn
ed him to be hung as a spy the next
morning. Indeed, Hale made no at
tempt at defense. He frankly owned
his mission and expressed regret that
he could not serve his country better.
His manly bearing and high spirits
commanded the respect of his captors.
Mercy he did not expect, and pity was
not shown him. The British were IT.
1itated by conhagation which had
that morning laid almost third of the
city in ashes, and which they attribu-
ted to incendiary efforts to deprive them
of agreeable winter quarters. Hale
was at first locked up in the Beekman
greenhouse. Whether he remained
there all night is not known, and the
place of his execution has been dispu-
ted; but the best evidence seems to be
that it took place on the farm of Colo
mel Rutger, on the west side, in the Or
.chard in the vicinity of the present
East Broadway and Market street, and
that he was hung to the limb of an ap-
pie tree.
It was on lovely Sunday morning be-
fore the break of day that he was
marched to the place of execution, Sep
TENDER 22d. While awaiting the
necessary preparations, a courteous
young officer permitted him to sit in
his tent. He asked for the presence OF
a chaplain; his request was refused. He
asked for Bible; it was denied. But at
the solicitation of the young officer he
was furnished with writing materials,
and wrote briefly to his mother, his
sister and his betrothed. When the in
famous Cunningham, to whom Howe
had delivered him, read what was
written he was furious at the noble and
dauntless spirit shown, and with foul
oaths tore the letter into shreds, saying
afterwards that ssthe rebels should never
know that they had man who could
die with such frmness." As Hale
stood upon the fatal ladder, Cunning
ham tainted him, and scohngly de-
manded "his last dying speech and con-
fession." The hero did not heed the
words of the brute, but looking calmly
upon the spectators, said in clear
voice. s
Il only regret that I have but one
life to lose for my country"
